Primary Care at Home

The PrimaryCare@Home Program through the Taddle Creek Family Health Team aims to provide home visits to older adults who are unable to access primary care in the clinic for medical, cognitive and/or social reasons. A social worker, pharmacist and other community partners including the CCAC help a family physician and physician assistant provide in-home primary care.

In order for a person to receive care, they generally must:

Have difficulty accessing a primary care provider (ie. family physician or nurse practitioner) because of physical, cognitive and/or social issues

Be over 65 years old with a valid OHIP card

Consent to an initial assessment by the team and be willing to have their care transferred from their current primary care provider to the PrimaryCare@Home team

Live in the PrimaryCare@Home program catchment area, which includes the following postal codes: M5P, M4V, M5R, M5T, M5V, M5J, M5G, M6C, M6G, M6J, M5V

Not live in a retirement home or long term care facility

Application and Referral Process:

Anyone can make a referral, though many come from the CCAC (Community Care Access Centre) and hospitals.

Thank you very much for your interest in referring someone to our program. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of our current roster, we are unable to take on the care of new people as quickly as we would like.

As of 13 May 2015, we are at full capacity, but will take on more people as spaces open in the roster. Please check back here for updates or call with further questions/suggestions for other resources.
